China Seizes Hundreds of Fake “Apple iPhone” Stoves

Authorities in China seized hundreds of single burner stoves with a name that many of our readers may be familiar with: “Apple iPhone.” Some 681 of the stoves were seized earlier in February in the city of Wuhan, where they were stored in two warehouses.

According to M.I.C. Gadget, an English-language site based in China who got the story from NetEase, the seizure may have been sparked not by the infringement on Apple’s trademarks, but rather because they were deemed unsafe. The devices don’t come with protection against flameout.
